Hello everyone,

Have someone ever heard of Mining rig taking fire?

I am scared to leave my mining rig running at home while I am not there because of that It could catch fire and burn my home.


What do you think?


Thanks,
My nVidia card did this it caught fire but i was at home thank god Smiley. It was an old GT xfx heard first some sparks and then boom fire and smoke . try to keep eyes on them from time to time also set the max gpu temp in the miner.

Do all miners have this feature?

I would assume the temp limit in the OC software would throttle down the GPU in case of fan failure while away
In my case i wasn't setting any limits on the OC or miner software, and the rig didn't turn off after catching fire the psu was running and feeding it so.. I have to turn it off manually after that i realized that one of the card voltage regulators was the cause of the fire (some bad components while its going to dead can't go in silence the regulator is one of them Smiley )
